Loic-Davy Kaze, an 18-year-old from Burundi, is a strong believer in the power of performing arts in order to bring people together for a common cause.

Growing up, he developed a strong passion for dance, music and theatre and realized that he was one of the lucky few who had parents support his decision to pursue these interests. He also realized that many of his artistically talented friends did not have the support that he had, obliging them to settle for what others deemed “appropriate”.

Combining his passions with the lessons learnt about entrepreneurial leadership at the African Leadership Academy, from which he recently graduated, Loic created the Arts Scholars Program (ASP). ASP is a four-week program that seeks to promote the arts in the entrepreneurship field, empowering students to create their own startups while following their artistic passions.
